Opinion

No. 91-00761.

April 22, 1992.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for Pinellas County, Bob Barker, J.

James Marion Moorman, Public Defender, Bartow, and Allyn Giambalvo, Asst. Public Defender, Clearwater, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Susan D. Dunlevy, Asst. Atty. Gen., Tampa, for appellee.

PER CURIAM.

The appellant correctly contends that it was error for the circuit court to sentence the appellant, a juvenile, to county jail for contempt of court. See L.M. v. State, 592 So.2d 1210 (Fla. 2d DCA 1992). Accordingly, we reverse the imposed county jail sentence and remand for resentencing under section 39.044(10), Florida Statutes (Supp. 1990).

RYDER, A.C.J., and DANAHY and FRANK, JJ., concur.
